Seagate has partnered with CERN openlab, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to develop the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage platform. The goal is to help CERN to better manage and store the 100 petabytes of data the Large Hadron Collider has generated to date, as well as the additional 2-3 petabytes of information it produces on a monthly basis in its quest to further humanity’s understanding of the universe.
